tom fuentes, our cnn law enforcement analyst, former assistant director of the fbi. when you heard what law enforcement, massachusetts state police, watertown police, what they had to say, of course the governor and mayor, what was your immediate bottom line on state, tom, of this effort to apprehend this suspect, this alleged killer? >> wolf, i thought it's a good job on their part to come out and just let everybody know that they're methodically working through these issues. when they say they're 60%, 70% through with what they're trying to accomplish, when they say what they're doing in the neighborhoods and a controlled explosion, i think it's basically telling everybody they're there, they're making everybody safe, they're going to resolve this, they're working through the public safety issues. and i think that, again, it's an example of each agency of a task force brings to the table their expertise. so, yes, you've got the federal investigators off trying to cover leads all over the world and resolve issues on the subjects of the case. but then you also have t
